It seems multiple people are going into the same directions. I am currently also trying to improve the handling here.
In fact, I am about to prepare a paper that - in detail explains the current implementation - suggest improvements regarding whether and when a message is send encrypted. In fact the document will handle the questions: - How do we decide whether to encrypt? - How do we find the keys? - Which options do/should we have to influence this process? Because I started trying to understand the current state and the code was really hard to read, I submitted a pure code refactoring, Patrick applied already with patch a37cb82adbb585c888a150e19740f3151a1510ae So note that the code has changed (not in behavior just as it is written). I expect to have the design paper ready during the next couple of days. Note BTW, I think it is a good idea at least to have the option to automatically send emails encrypted in case we know all keys. However, in this whole process a key question is how to deal with bcc addresses (or if bcc addresses are present).
